On "Larry King Live" Friday night, during a political round table on the presidential race, Fran Drescher displayed her support of Hillary Clinton by breaking out some rather questionable and inelegant Spanish, which led Larry King to ask the former star of TV-series "The Nanny", "What are you doing?"

I THOUGHT LARRY KING AND THE REST OF THAT PANEL WERE EXTREMELY RUDE TO FRANNY. LARRY KING IS WAY PAST HIS TIME ON TV. THE MAN HAS MAJOR BRAIN FARTS. TIME TO RETIRE. HE MUST BE COMPETING WITH THOSE OLD GUYS ON 60 MINUTES.

I have to say, it was nice to see and hear Fran again. I am a fan.

She did an on air commercial during an interview, with the host present. It was out of line with normal I don't blame Fran for speaking to Latin voters, but it's, maybe it's something normally bad form. Rosie O should back off. She's sounding nutty again.

1. if you are going to speak spanish to try to impress people who speak spanish, don't do it badly (e.g. "si se pueda")

2. Also don't waste your time. Most latinos in the US are pochos who don't even speak spanish. Just say what you gotta say in english without a wasted effort at patronizing them.

Perhaps Rosie would have liked Larry better if he had responded in mock chinese.

I am not bilingual. I can put together a sentence in inteligible Spanish. Fran Drescher cannot.

What are you doing? is the perfect comment on her strange near-Spanish interlude.

I love Fran Drescher! Smart, politically sophisticated, ballsy, and beautiful! Whoever has Fran in their life is one lucky man. I didn't know she was as politically aware. I would do back flips just to shake her hand. Wow. What an incredible woman.

Will anyone question whether or not Fran is a stupid bitch? Her Spanish is horrible and she's supporting Hillary. No more proof is need thank you very much.

What the hell was she doing on that panel in the first place? I didn't realize she was a pundit now. King didn't do anything wrong. I'm as liberal as anybody but this was embarassing for the nany, not the King.

Rosie trumps up a silly criticism of the nonagenarian King.
It was simply a harmless reaction by King, et als.
Rosie O'Donell and Donald Trump, perfect together.
BTW, I saw some commentary (wouldn't bother to read it) written by Rosie on HuffPo recently. How the heck does a vapid Rosie O'Donnel rate appearing in Huffpo?

Are you speaking ironically?

No, I'm serious.

I like King saying "That's kinda weird". No Larry, that's kind of smart. Does Larry think we're going to take this shit anymore? Hell no! In the immortal words of Howard Beale:

WE'RE MAD AS HELL, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

Thanks Fran.

Thanks for showing democrats how to get their act together Rosie.

I gotta tell you that probably most republicans are sitting back and looking on with a sense of amazement. You democrats can be an insensitive lot. The general election has already started for us and you are still ripping each other. I don't know about democrats, but I am sick of the Hillary/Obama thing already. I am interested in following it but only out of curiosity. Trying to make something positive out of their message is becoming harder and harder.

Anything they have to offer is being denigrated by their own party. Simply amazing!

I'm "sitting back and looking on with a sense of amazement" at your straightforwardness.

So, where do you go for rallying FirstShirt, in Main Street, Kentucky, wearing your "first shirt" of choice, I'm sure: A big white sheet with two cutout holes for your eyes!?...Good on 'ya, for being so politically active!

I like Ms. Drescher, i really do, but her attempt to connect with the "Latinas" is dumb, just dumb. If she needed to speak Spanish, her intended audience wasn't watching. The show was, up to then, was an English language program correct?
